A game system that is a non-limiting example information processing system comprises a main body apparatus, and this main body apparatus is provided with a left controller and a right controller in a attachable and detachable manner. Each of the left controller and the right controller comprises a plurality of operation buttons and an analog stick. In a first operation mode, action of a player character is controlled according to an operation of a player. In a second operation mode, a sub-character appears, and action of the sub-character is automatically controlled except for a case where the sub-character attacks an enemy character according to depression of a ZL-button. In a third operation mode, movement of the player character and movement of the sub-character are respectively controlled according to an operation of the player.

Storage medium, information processing system, information processing apparatus and game controlling method involving linkable player character and sub-character

An example system includes a game device including a game processing unit performing information processing concerning a game and a communication unit performing communication via a network, and a communication unit performing communication with the game device via the network. The game device includes a purchase request transmission unit transmitting a purchase request for the first item to be used in the game to the server by communication through the communication unit. The server includes a purchase request reception unit receiving the purchase request transmitted by the purchase request transmission unit, and a first item imparting unit imparting the first item in response to the purchase request received by the purchase request reception unit. An upper limit is set to the cumulative number of the purchased first items for the user who plays the game using the game device.

On a plurality of paths within a virtual space, objects moving in movement directions that are determined for the paths, respectively, are displayed. When an operation input has been performed by a player, whether a plurality of the objects that satisfy a predetermined condition have been designated is determined. When it is determined that the plurality of the objects that satisfy the predetermined condition have been designated, the plurality of the designated objects are caused to enter a state of being selected. At predetermined timing, control in which a display manner of selected objects that are the objects in the state of being selected is changed or the selected objects are eliminated from the path is performed.

Computer-readable non-transitory storage medium having game program stored therein, game process control method, and game apparatus

An example system includes a contactless communication part that performs contactless communication with a data storage medium having a contactless communication function; a data writing part that writes data to the data storage medium by the contactless communication part; a storage part that stores the data written by the data writing part; and a data determination part that determines whether the data stored in the data storage medium and the data stored in the storage part have a predetermined relationship with each other or not. When the data determination part determines that both of the data do not have the predetermined relationship with each other, the data writing part overwrites the data stored in the data storage medium with the data stored in the storage part.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system, information processing method, and recording medium

An example system includes: a contactless communication part that performs contactless communication with a data storage medium having a contactless communication function; a data writing part that writes data to the data storage medium by the contactless communication part; a storage part that stores the data written by the data writing part; and a corruption determination part that determines whether the data stored in the data storage medium is corrupted or not. When the corruption determination part determines that the data is corrupted, the data writing part writes the data stored in the storage part, to the data storage medium.
